Knee Airbag
A knee airbag deploys under the dashboard to protect the driver's or passenger's legs.
What is Knee Airbag?
It reduces leg injuries. It helps keep the occupant in position. It is found in many modern cars. By stopping the knees moving forward, it helps the seatbelt and front airbag work together and reduces the risk of sliding under the belt. Keeping the knees a sensible distance from the dashboard and not putting feet on the dashboard are important for safety.
How it works
It inflates in frontal crashes.
Why it matters for your car
Keep the area free. Do not mount accessories there.
